Do you not have a tub of the shimano stuff at work for the dip?
Nah, the Nexus has 7 more gears than all the bikes at my work! I could do it in ATF but then there's meant to be seal issues. I think there's a tool you need too isn't there? Or you can bodge it but might damage the plastic cover.
If the flange diameters are the same then getting the right spokes is easy and relacing a wheel isn't much more than a half hour job.
Pretty sure the shift pattern is the same between Nexus and Alfine so the bar end shifter should work just fine.

Mrs TM haz a black alfine on her Smithfield... I wonder...
No issues with heel clearance with spd. Haven't ridden it with flats but usually do a more mid sole position on flats anyway.
I was considering switching some HY:RD from another bike but not sure it's worth it. Although I do like to endo.
